Toiletries and Medcines

[Kylie]

We find that off the shelf medicines are really expensive and as for deodrant and shampoo/conditioner, daylight robbery. Just found this site that ships to France for £7.49 for whatever amount you buy so have just stocked up, it was like going to Superdrug.

Thanks Kylie for listing this website. I have ordered several things already and compared to French pharmacies they are much, much cheaper even allowing for the p/p. One thing to note. I ordered some worming medication for my cat. It needed a veterinary prescription which ofcourse I can't get, so still wondering if that will arrive or not. But still a useful website to have,

I notice it says that orders are possibly subject to weight restrictions.  Has anybody fallen foul of this yet?  How much weight is too much I wonder?  I thought it might be good to get a year's supply of toothpaste/soap/shampoo etc, but don't know if they'll ship that much.

[/quote]I can buy wormers and flea treatments which would normally need a vet's prescription from one chemist in UK while another will refuse to sell them without a prescription, so you might get lucky[8-)]

It's a useful link thanks, espcially for over the counter medecines but do you really find that shampoos are much cheaper?

I wouldn't buy toiletries in a Pharmacie.

I compared your site

http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/shampoo_c_4479.html

with  Auchan

http://www.auchandirect.fr/frontoffice/index/ssrayon/famille/15225/rayon/15227/ssrayon/15987/

and couldn't see an enormous difference.

On the Auchan site I have only indicated the 'normal' shampoos, so if you want to see the full range you have to go back and choose among other options.

There are also the Schlecker shops: you can find your local one here:

Maybe not the cheepest, but at least there is not a load of pony poo in it!

I checked the shampoo I use on both sites.  3.49€ in Auchan, £1.49 at Chemist Direct.  Don't know about the pony poo though, JJ; but I have to say that as green, natural producs go, it should beat all, shouldn't it?[:D]
